To be honest, I still think the age limit should be 20. Either get paid in Europe for A couple of years or be one of the lucky ones and get a free ride in the NCAA.

Jenning is showing every nite he not physically ready for prime time. There are talented kids in high school today that can "hang" on the court but not for 82 games, be away from home, and take the grind of travel and injury.

I too think it should age 20, but let the NBA draft and obtain their right and pay them, and if they want to pay them to play d-league, Europe or pay for their school and have Coach K train them then so be it.

ITs like any vocational school. Then in the summer they can play summer league.

LIke I said, how many kids is this really affecting? What about the schools who build their own arenas with their own money, or set aside tickets for students for about nothing? What about they paying for their coaches to build these programs. Players can choose what school they want to go to and if they want can choose to play or not play.

It is not a god given right that they play basketball or have to matriculate at all. If they are that good they can play overseas.

Let the market dictate supply and demand.

Universities that are quasi-private (which most are in the US) are still governed by standards set forth by the State and Federal government. Meaning that if they receive any government funds that would require a yellowbook audit are considered quasi-private. That is why they could be subject to matters of quota, funding restrictions, etc. Keep in mind that if students are receiving federal (i.e. Pell grants) and state grants to attend such universities then the university still must adhere to those standards. Yellowbook test are done every year to determine a school's status.
